Poor results

I can't seem to get good results from simple documentation sites like OpenAI - most pages return partial info

Jiří Spilka (jiri.spilka)

Hi, I apologize for the delayed response.

Unfortunately, I've tried to resolve the issue, but was not very successful. I’ve reached out internally, and we’ll try to figure this out.

Thank you for your understanding. Jiri

Hi, thank you for your patience, and I apologize for the earlier delay in responding.

It appears the OpenAI documentation website behaves a bit unusually. However, he has identified some adjustments that can help improve the results:

Ensure content is fully loaded: Use "waitForSelector": ".anchor-heading" to make sure there’s content on the page before extraction begins.
Wait for dynamic content: Set "dynamicContentWaitSecs": 30" to allow sufficient time for the content to load.
Avoid dropping any content: Use "htmlTransformer": "none" to prevent content from being stripped during processing.

Here’s an example run for the OpenAI documentation where these settings were applied: example run.

Additionally, he noticed that many URLs in the OpenAI docs point to different sections of the same page (e.g., the API reference). As a result, the extracted results may include the entire API reference text multiple times. To optimize costs and performance, you may want to reduce the number of URLs being processed, as the current approach with a 30-second wait can become expensive.

Please let me know if you’d like further clarification. Jiri

I’ll go ahead and close this issue for now. However, feel free to ask additional questions or create a new issue if needed.
